[R] First value in a row

[Camilo Mora]

Hi.

This is likely a trivial problem but have not found a solution.  
Imagine the following dataframe:

Lat   Lon  x1   x2  x3
01    10   NA   NA  .1
01    11   NA   .2  .3
01    12   .4   .5  .6

I want to generate another column that consist of the first value in  
each row from columns x1 to x3. That is

NewColumn
.1
.2
.4

Any input greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Camilo
